What wing of the Democratic party would Grover Cleveland be today

[Thomas]

I know a lot of you say he would be a Republican today, but if he stayed loyal to the Democrats what kind of Democrat would he be today?

[OSR stands with Israel]

He would be part of the Libertarian party

[Mr. Reactionary]

The Bourbon wing

[darklordoftech]

I agree with Old School Republican, but if he remained a Democrat, he'd be a Third Way/New/Clintonian Democrat for sure. In fact, the Bryanites said the same things about Cleveland that the Berniecrats said about the Clintons. A parallel between the Gilded Age and the present that I find interesting that in the Gilded Age, there was the conflict between the Bourbans and the Populists, and today there's the conflict between the Third Way Democrats and the Berniecrats. The Bourban faction that Cleveland lead was considered to be centrist at the time.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

A dead one.

But he would be an honest Clintonian Democrat, if there is such a thing

[RINO Tom]

He would be part of the Libertarian party

Lots of notable politicians join the Libertarian Party rather than fight for a faction of one of the two major parties, so you bring up an excellent point!

[Kingpoleon]

Somewhere between Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Ron Wyden, Andrew Cuomo, and Sam Nunn.

Yes, the personality types who typically make it to the White House are the types to let themselves rot in obscurity as third party perennial candidates.

[Kamala]

HILLARY IS A BOURBON DEMOCRAT!1!1

[The Govanah Jake]

A dead one.

This. He would be much more Fiscally and Socially Conservative then any Third Way Democrat is today. If he were around today he would either join another party like the libertarian's (but that is unlikely), join the Republican Party, or just become a very conservative democrat.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Obviously he'd be a total neoliberal on economic issues. However, he wouldn't be as big a hawk as most of the establishment.

[Mr. Smith]

He'd be of the Paul/Amash camp of the GOP most likely.

[Zioneer]

He'd be of the Paul/Amash camp of the GOP most likely.

There's a reason Ron Paul thinks he was a great president.

Cleveland and Paul even agree on what metal should be used as the basis for the dollar.

[RINO Tom]

Let's be careful assuming that a New York Democrat in the late 1800s and a Kentucky Republican in the 21st Century share the same ideology because they supported the same policies.

[Lechasseur]

Today he'd be a Republican but assuming he would be a Democrat Cleveland would be a Blue Dog Democrat

[Santander]

My wing.

Except you can argue ideology wise Paul is not a Kentucky republican just like his dad was not a Texas republican .

Indeed. There's a reason he ran behind Trump even though he didn't have great competition or corruption as an albatross [like Roy Blunt].

Um... Jim Gray is a very, very good fit for Kentucky.
